We flew from Copenhagen to Portland Oregon with a 2-hour connection in Amsterdam. Apparently 140-some bags didn't make it onto the plane in Amsterdam, including our two bags.

(We never check luggage, for this exact reason, but they told us the flight was very full and our bags were technically slightly too big so they insisted we check them.)

Delta are displaying profound organization incompetence so far. It took 5.5 hours on hold before talking to someone and getting a reference file created. We can now enter that reference file number at https://bit.ly/BaggageTracker to check the status. Unfortunately it just says the bags were tagged for CPH->AMS->PDX and a Mishandled file was created. At the airport yesterday when we arrived an agent said the bags would be on today's flight. Today an agent is saying they do not see the bags as being loaded on that flight. Anguished wail!

PS: So I can trade in this market as well without having too unfair an advantage, I hereby pledge to first add updates as comments below, wait at least a minute, and then proceed to trade based on that information.
